Do you really think he'll every be worth more than £60m, though? I'm really not sure he will be.
Of course, timing is everything and as I've mentioned in my reply to
@bluestevon i accept it's an issue.
But again, we're talking about a lad who doesn't really score or create goals on a consistent basis yet. That's not saying he's a bad player, but he is - wrongly - our main creative outlet and has been for some time. I'd say that explains some way to why we were so bad last season, because simply put we rely on very inconsistent players like Gordon and Gray to be our main men too often - and they are both inconsistent for different reasons, of course, and in Gordon's case (youth) that's entirely fair.
But given that we are talking about someone with 6 direct goal involvements to his name in an Everton shirt, who this time last year was going to be loaned out had we bought Luis Diaz as planned, then with £60m it really
shouldn't be hard. I accept, however, that Everton have probably done little to prove they know what they're doing.
